Owner History

Planetary Information

History

Situated deep within the Draconis Combine, Sheliak was a minor planet with few resources. In fact, it was of such little military value that even during the Clan Invasion, when Sheliak suddenly found itself near the front lines, the DCMS did not assign any troops to defend it. Thus in December 3051, when Clan Ghost Bear invasion forces appeared over Sheliak, the planetary government panicked, and agreed to a desperate plan proposed by football commissioner Jimmy "Straight Jim" Lorne.

Confident that the Clans knew nothing of the game of football, a challenge was issued by Sheliak's government. If the Ghost Bears won a game against the Sheliak Professional Football League, they would claim the planet; if they lost, then Sheliak would remain free. Unfortunately for both Sheliak's population and their football players, the Bears not only knew the rules of the game but they also deployed a team of eight-foot-tall Elementals. During the match in Kurita Stadium, the Sheliak All-Star team was utterly smashed and lost the game, 84 to 3. The planetary government then ceded control of Sheliak to the Ghost Bears during the postgame show.[16]
